It is also said to replace medical jargon and codes with easily understood language, shows the calculations behind the balance due, and enables electronic payment of medical bills – all in one place.

Patients are able to send payments anytime, from any computer, using any debit or credit card, flexible spending account or health savings account. To pay their doctor, patients simply review the information in Quicken Health Expense Tracker and click the “Pay Now” button, eliminating the need to match and reconcile different paper bills and explanation of benefits.

The press release further notes that Quicken Health Expense Tracker is beneficial to medical providers allowing them to collect payments faster with less effort, reduce patient phone calls with questions about bills, and decrease the paperwork and costs associated with follow up reminders.
